How deep the Father's love for us.

How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure;that He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away,as wounds which mar the chosen One bring many sons to glory.Behold the Man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders,ashamed I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers.It was my sin that left Him there until it was accomplished.His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished.I will not boast in anything; no gifts, no power, no wisdom.But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer.But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom.
